Rain is forecasted to start Sunday for most of the Bay Area, and a wind advisory has been issued for the coast.
Wind and rain are coming for the Bay Area on Sunday and Monday, with a storm forecasters predict will dump more rain than the region typically gets during the entire month of September.
The rain is expected to start in the North Bay as early as Saturday evening and spread across most of the Bay Area by around 5 a.m. Sunday — falling fairly steadily all day Sunday and into Monday morning, said Brooke Bingaman, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Monterey. “So Monday morning commuters need to make sure they are cautious and leave extra time,” Bingaman said. Drivers should check their windshield wipers and replace them if they’ve become cracked during the recent hot, dry weather, she said.
In some places in the Bay Area, rainfall totals from this storm are expected to quadruple average totals for the entire month of September. The storm is forecasted to drop an inch of rain in downtown San Francisco — a city that, on average, sees just a quarter inch for all of September. Oakland is forecasted to see between half an inch and three-quarters of an inch, compared to its average September total of 0.23 inches.
